Default What the direct/retrograde motion of Venus looks like

No, it doesn't, this entire concept has been understood for a very, very long time now. Just because it is new to 'you' does not mean that the scientific community needs to catch up. That fact of the matter is, you don't *really* understand as much as you claim because you only refer to the motion of the inferior planets WRT to the Sun, and never WRT the background stars, where both inferior planets make the same loops against the stars as the superior planets that are so well documented. The actual paths of the inferior planets have been presented to you many times but you have always rejected them for some goofy reason. These inside loops are just as easy to understand as the outside loops for most of us, with you being the exception.
